♪ ♪ >> oman defies expectations. it shouldn't, according to the cruel logic of the world, exist, but it does and it's incredible. the sultanate of oman is a monarchy, a choke point in the world's oil supply. it is surrounded by some of the trickest and contentious powers in the region.

and yet here it is, relatively small, tolerant, welcoming to outsiders, peaceful, and stunningly beautiful. but oman is facing uncertainty with succession issues and declining oil reserves. the quell of what's next is a big, if often, unspoken one. so pre1970, this was a very different, very different place to live, very different country. >> quite simply there was nothing. we had only free schools in oman and only for boys. we had only two hospitals. >> for the whole country? >> yes, for the whole country. and nine miles of big drug in muscot. >> and who was beyond was of absolutely no concern to leadership. >> absolutely, yes. >> sheik ben sewol mean algofri

[ speaking foreign language ] >> sultan is much admired iniguodai inigmatic monarch. in that time he has raised a nation literally from a dusty primitive back water to a modern functioning, largely secular society. >> his vision was to deliver the

services to the city, water, health care, education. it was like a one-man show. >> usually one-man shows are not a good thing. >> that's right. >> historically seldom does it workout. you look around and see how the country is doing now is pretty impressive. >> it is a tremendous job that his majesty has done. people feel like he's the man they were waiting for to enlight their life and to open doors for them. ♪ ♪ >> oman, it should be understood, sits atop of the indian ocean rim. the empire once stretched from pakistan to east africa, with important trade routes that reached from southern africa all the way to the china straits, indonesia, into deep east asia.

modern oman is a fraction of that size now, but its dna, its culture, cuisine, and to some extent attitude toward the outside world, is a reflection of that history. matra is a port town in the capital of muscot. for centuries a center of commerce and trade. one of the first things i notice about the city is its very low slum. it seems like a calculated esthetic decision. >> you're someone who wants to build your house, you first submit your plans to municipality. if you're going above a certain height it's generally frowned upon. the idea is to keep the traditional vernacular. >> she is a curator and ph.d. student focused on middle eastern art history. she is, like many young people here, patriotic to the point of being nerdy, as she puts it. >> we have such an old history, and i think this is a really great example of that. this is something that functions in our daily life.

it functions very similarly to say how it would have functioned if you were coming here, say, 200 years ago. now we are coming to cornish. >> i love cornish, such a beautiful word. the food of oman is a mix of flavors and ingredients and tastes from arabia and from all over oman's former empire. this is an old boarding house turned restaurant where you can try bakora which came from india chipati from east africa and shua, the classic special event dish. they do one version or another of this all over the world, but shua is special. they slather a goat with a spicy paste consisting of cumin,

coriander, pepper, cinnamon, and wrap it in palm or banana leaves, dig a hole, throw in some meat, cover it up. and leave underground for a day or two over hot coals. oman has changed the way that's unique to anyone. i haven't seen anyplace that has sort of maintained their architecture and the character that this country has, and that's a really unusual -- >> oman is the only country that kept their tradition. and if you travel outside muscat, you see the flavor of the old life still there. >> pasin mir is is a fine artist who works in painting and photography. he is a film maker, artist and provocateur representing the increasingly vocal point much view of young omani women in the

middle eastern art scene. >> we have a tradition of historic without saying things directly. they took this from poetry. they have a certain language with a lot of tact -- >> subtext. >> it is an unusual mix here, very graceful, very proud mix of cultures and languages. >> i mean, the mix was existent from beginning. >> there is a beauty in understanding the other. >> such a difficult time to make that argument. the whole world seems to be going in exactly the opposite direction. i mean, my country, the last thing anyone seems to want to do is highlight the other. >> i think people discussing here is culturalism. because of the way i see history, it's a traditional reality. it's our background. it's who we are.

♪ ♪ anthony: you know about the vietnam war. what you might not know is that while that conflict raged on, oman along with an elite force of british special operators and military advisors was engaged in a war in the country's southern dhofari region that was in every way, far more vital to american security interest, and of far more importance to global strategic and economic concerns. >> ian: where we operated were the frankincense trees. the frankincense that the wise men brought to christ, all the suffering that came through the mountains where we were fighting. and you were sitting behind the machine gun on a track, which had been used for 3,000 years. one felt like an intruder in history. and if the trees were cut you could smell the frankincense.

the smell of explosives. the smell of blood. the smell of the food, cardamom, the smell of the tea. i loved it. this was a civil war. civil wars, typically, are the worst wars of all. you know that well enough in your country. >> anthony: but most people have not heard of it. >> ian: no they haven't. but you'd have heard about if we'd lost it, i can tell you. >> anthony: right. the war began as a local rebellion by the dhofari people against the autocratic and outdated rule of then sultan said bin taimur. who had kept his nation isolated and stunted, out of concern for his hold on power. what started as a local uprising quickly became a serious full blown communist backed insurgency, as soviet and chinese influence poured in from yemen.

ian gardiner remembers the conflict well. he fought in it, alongside omani infantry as a british royal marine. and later wrote about the experience in his memoir "in the service of the sultan." a rare chronicle of the brutal incredibly difficult and almost entirely unknown war, fought in the rugged southern mountains. >> ian: the old sultan was not an inhumane man, but he was an old man, and he was deeply reactionary, so he wanted to keep his country in a medieval time warp. the thing that changed it, was the advent of a japanese transistor radio. for the first time his people could hear what other arab countries were doing with their oil, and they wanted some of that. >> anthony: by the 1920's winston churchill switched the royal navy's mode of power from coal to oil. and suddenly, everything changed. they needed oil, and lots of it. which made oman vital not for its limited oil resources, but

for where it is, the strait of hormuz. the persian gulf's femoral artery, 20% of the world's oil flows through here making it one of, if not the most strategically important waterways on the planet. by 1970 sultan taimoor's counter insurgency was not going well. he was deposed by his son qaboos bin said al said, in a relatively bloodless coup. immediately, the young sultan set out on a different tact for winning the war. >> ian: almost before the shooting had stopped, we would institute a civil aid program. build roads, build a school, build a mosque, build shops, a clinic. but it was in this way the sultan was able to demonstrate that he was the one who had his people's best interest at heart, not the communists. >> anthony: things seldom work out so well. post insurgency or counterinsurgency, this tactic

failed spectacularly in vietnam of course. what made the difference here? >> ian: in every war in history, you end up living with the other side and if you can open a respectable door successfully then the less likely the aftermath is going to beset with rancor with hatred and a thirst for revenge. the sultan took this very brave, highly intelligent, political risk which i think was the difference. and i think has been the foundation of the unambiguous and enduring peace in this country. ♪ ♪ >> anthony: in 1976 the omanis laid down their weapons and never picked them up again. the resulting peace has lasted for 40 years, and while oman

ain't your system and it ain't my system and it's far, far from being either perfect, or a western style democracy -- there is a palpable pride here in the collective identity of being omani. notably, as well the sultan has placed emphasis on the role of women, decreeing at least as a matter of policy equal access to education, to work, to political office. ♪ ♪ >> zahara: [ speaking in arabic ] i was the only one here to cook for a living. the women here used to think that it's embarrassing to cook and get paid. but when they saw me, cooking

uniquely, oman's majority is neither sunni nor shiite, but rather ibadi, a very old and particularly tolerant nonsectarian form of islam. this is a distinction we in the west would be wise to notice. islam is not a monolith it comes in many forms. ibadi theology arguably forms the backbone of many of oman's codes of conduct. it places value on concepts like politeness, acceptance, unity, and understanding. perhaps, as a consequence of that, the sultanate embraces grace and tact as a matter of

foreign policy. internally too, oman has avoided radicalism and sectarian violence. it is considered shameful by ibadi teachings to draw blood over religious conflicts, unless attacked. the terror and bloodshed in neighboring yemen feels very far away up here. jebel al akhdar, the green mountain. >> anthony: this area, oh my god, look at this, it's so beautiful. >> halil: we are 64 [ speaking in arabic ]. >> anthony: 64. how many generations has your family lived here? >> hamden: 200 years maybe, more than 200 years. >> halil: can you see all the small farms? >> anthony: yeah >> hamden: all of our grandfathers built that. and they built all these things with only their hands.
